Whip up these easy Keto Blueberry Muffins for easy breakfasts or snacks. They are light and fluffy, with 9g of protein and only 4.4g of net carbs per serving.
Keto blueberry muffins have been one of my most popular recipes since the moment I hit publish. And once you give them a try, you will understand why!
My first forays into the world of keto baking started with muffins, and I’m always trying out new flavors and techniques. Readers love the Keto Pumpkin Muffins and bakery-style Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins. And my new Protein Muffins are getting rave reviews too!
But these almond flour blueberry muffins are so delicious and so easy to make. You can whip them up in less than 45 minutes! They’re great to have on hand for easy snacking.
Why we love this recipe
intro
- Tender muffins: Adding Greek yogurt to the batter helps create a rich, thick batter that bakes up into gloriously tender muffins.
- More protein: By adding yogurt to the batter, you also get an extra boost of protein!
- Low Carb Yogurt: Always choose plain Greek yogurt, as it has the lowest carb count and no added sugars. If you can find Two Good yogurt in your area, it’s an excellent choice as well as it only has 3g of carbs and no artificial sweeteners.
Reader’s Thoughts

Ingredient Notes

- Greek yogurt: I like to use full fat yogurt for the added richness it provides. Lower fat versions work just as well but they add a few carbs to the total recipe. If you can find Two Good yogurt near you, it’s lower fat and lower carb.
- Almond flour: These are almond flour blueberry muffins and they won’t work with coconut flour. However, you could use my Keto Blueberry Bread recipe and turn it into muffins.
- Sweetener: I like Swerve Granular in these keto blueberry muffins but any sweetener should work. The consistency does not rely on using a particular brand or kind. But allulose will likely make the tops brown a little more quickly.
- Protein powder: As with many of my baked goods, I’ve added a little protein powder to this recipe for a lighter, fluffier muffin. Both whey protein and egg white protein powders work well.
- Fresh blueberries: I recommend fresh berries since frozen tend to bleed blue all over. But if frozen is all you have, those work too.
- Pantry staples: Eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt.
Overview: How to Make This Recipe
1. Blend the wet ingredients: Combine the yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add the dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, sweetener, protein powder, and baking powder, and blend again until smooth. Thin out with a little water if batter is thick and not pourable.
3. Stir in the blueberries: Add the blueberries into the blender, but stir them in by hand. Divide the batter between 12 standard muffin cups.
4. Bake until golden: Bake until the tops are golden brown and just firm to the touch.
Tips for Success
I love using my blender to whip up these almond flour blueberry muffins. It’s less messy, takes only seconds, and it makes the batter more cohesive. But less powerful blenders may not be up to the challenge. You can always whisk the ingredients together in a bowl instead.
If the blueberries sink to the bottom of the muffins, it means the batter was too thin. The additional water should be added sparingly, and only until you have a thick but pourable batter. Brands of almond flour and yogurt differ so how much water you need depends on your other ingredients. You may not need any at all.
I specify fresh blueberries for this recipe but frozen work as well. Frozen blueberries tend to bleed more and turn the batter purple so I recommend tossing them with a bit of coconut flour before adding to the batter.
Frequently Asked Questions
These almond flour blueberry muffins have 7.1g of carbs and 2.7g of fiber per serving. That comes to 4.4g net carbs per muffin.
Yogurt can be very high in sugar and carbs so you need to consider it carefully. Plain unflavored Greek yogurt is often the best choice, and the higher the fat content, the fewer carbs it will contain. You should avoid most flavored yogurts, as they often have added sugar. However, a few brands like Two Good and Ratio make good low carb flavored varieties.
These muffins freeze very well so go ahead and make a big batch. Let the muffins cool completely and then place in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will last up to 4 months.

I love this recipe! I believe this one is updated from the first one I had printed. These muffins are light and came out perfectly.
I love these I make them a lot.
This is my favourite keto blueberry muffin recipe. I always search ADIDAF’s website for recipes first. If she’s got it, I make it!
#1 best Muffins!!
I made these yesterday and they were delicious! Love the texture. Love the flavour. Yum.
Could fresh raspberries be used instead of blueberries?
Absolutely! They crush more easily so just fold in gently.
These are great and quick to make, however 2/3 of my time is spent trying to get past the ads that completely hi-jack the page
If you are coming through Facebook links, then it is a known problem. Facebook puts a tracking link on URLs shared on their platform and it can mess with page layouts. Try opening it up in a new browser. You can also copy and paste the link and just add it directly to your browser.
Can I use 1 egg instead of 3, I have tried other Keto recipes too many eggs destroy the pallete?
Absolutely not. You will have a dense mess on your hands, not a muffin.
This is the best blueberry muffin I’ve ever baked! The texture and flavor are absolutely perfect!
What can I use instead of the whey protein powder.? Can I use regular protein powder?
Not sure what you mean by “regular protein powder”. There really is no such thing…. it’s either whey-based, or it’s egg white powder, or a vegan protein powder like hemp.
I made these today and they were the bomb! I used lakanto monk fruit and they are delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
These muffins are amazing!!! Better then any high carb muffins! I make a freeze these for an easy breakfast on the go!!! These are 🔥
I want to use monk fruit as a sweetener. Any idea of how much I should use?
That depends a lot on what you mean by monk fruit. Are you talking about the highly concentrated extract? Or a “monk fruit sweetener”, which is really mostly erythritol and just a tiny bit of monk fruit?
Very good made with our itty bitty but so tasty wild Maine blueberries! I also added about 1/4t almond extract and it reminds me of blueberry cheesecake….yummmmm
Fabulous! fyi I am not on keto but love your recipes! I used blueberry Greek yogurt & chocolate protein powder and added a few semi sweet chocolate chips & loved these muffins!
Deeelicious! I snuck some strudel on top ( brown swerve cinnamon and melted butter). Oh My! A favourite around here! Thank you for another wonderful creation 😍
